hello everyone hope you're having the most fantastic day today welcome to film insight for
today's video we're going to be discussing some of the worst hotels to be featured on hotel hell
so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys one the juniper
hill inn in this episode Gordon Ramsay heads over to the failing juniper hill inn which is a 110
year old hotel owned by robert dean ii and his boyfriend arie nicky the hotel is oddly filled
with antiques the prices are high and dean still lives luxuriously despite being in a deep pool of
dead what's worse dean seemed to care more about his antique collection than running the place
and gave away tons of things to his friends for free funnily enough when Gordon Ramsay brought in
an appraiser to value his antiques later on in the episode they were practically worthless and mostly
replicas anyway aside from obsessing over useless items he treated his staff poorly and even failed
to pay them when they would confront him about it he would tell them that they don't have to work at
his hotel if they don't like it what a scumbag to make matters even worse this slimy man would
pocket their tips dean was so incredibly twisted that they had to split this episode into two parts
as usual though Ramsay transformed the hotel giving it a warm and welcoming atmosphere
Ramsay left the rooms untouched as they were already to a good standard
and the second dining room was transformed into the blue bar 2. applegate river lodge
for a season 2 episode Gordon Ramsay visits the applegate river lodge to rescue it from closure
the business is owned by a couple named richard and joanna who hired their family to help run it
having built the lodge 22 years before the taping of this episode the two have since gotten divorced
which not only affected the relationships around them but the hotel as well just imagine what it
would be like for a divorced couple to run a hotel together it would be incredibly toxic and which is
exactly how it went down for richard and joanna due to the tense environment and deteriorating
standards the couple have gotten themselves into a deep pool of debt it doesn't exactly help that
richard constantly argues with his wife in front of patrons and that their two sons would rather
party than do their jobs maybe it shouldn't be that surprising that they want to have fun since
the hotel runs a party bar that's open until late somehow the family thought that their behavior
was acceptable but thankfully Ramsay helped them realise that they were destroying their business
Ramsay's team gave the hotel a complete makeover and reiterated that they needed
to run each part of the hotel as one business the famous chef revamped the lobby and reception area
adding in chairs so guests can lounge around as they wait he also added in a new hotel management
system run by lavu hospitality for their guests to check in online it also synced to the restaurant
and their music which is super convenient 3. vienna inn in this hotel hell episode
gordon Ramsay visits the failing vienna inn to bring it back on its feet being an austrian themed
hotel the place is owned by an eccentric couple named jonathan and lisa crack having purchased
the inn back in 2000 many rumors have since spread that the owners hold adult parties in the basement
what's more the staff point out that the couple are not as kind as they portray themselves to be
over the years the inn has gained a rather sketchy reputation amongst the locals and is
barely patronized delusionally the owners think that they run a luxurious austrian-themed hotel
when in actuality many see the place as a swingers hangout other than the fact that
the place looks trashy the owners are just awful people for instance lisa has terrible mood swings
and isn't afraid to physically abuse her staff like how she smacked her server on
the back of the head in front of a customer mind you ramsay later meets with the couple
and tells them that the hotel should be labeled as prehistoric since the rooms are shoddy and
the food is terrible he advises them to just close the end since jonathan's heart clearly isn't in it
and lisa's head is in the clouds remembering that the inn's basement was used for wild adult parties
ramsay decides to go down there to investigate fortunately he only finds a wine cellar stocked
with expensive wine and a mineral spa while this was a difficult hotel to save ramsay tried his
very best but eventually just left shortly after leaving though lisa and jonathan reverted all the
changes made they brought back the prehistoric decor and re-cluttered the rooms they also
went back to the old menu and as a result their reputation has remained the same unfortunately
after suffering from a fire that caused around seventy five thousand dollars worth of damages
they were forced to shut things down maybe it's for the best four towns in towns inn is a failing
business owned by jason and anna who purchased it back in 2007 as an investment they also hope to
keep jason's mother karen townsend busy throughout her retirement since she likes being occupied with
work ramsay finds out that karen treats the hotel as if it were her home rather than a business
since she sleeps in her office and holds clothing as well as other personal items in random places
despite being heavily in debt jason believes that his mother's welfare should be prioritized even if
it means that his business will suffer he wants what's best for his mum which is pretty sweet
anyway throughout the entire episode karen acted like a caricature who was in complete denial
regardless of if the hotel desperately needed changes or not she wanted everything to stay
the same ramsay reminds her that she isn't doing anything right and that he can't help her revive
the hotel if she is in denial after tons of tears karen admits that all she wants is for the hotel
to succeed and agrees to listen to ramsay's advice since ramsay's visit things have improved greatly
not only have the staff made positive changes but jason has become more involved with the business
5. brick hotel ramsay visits the failing brick hotel in this season 3 episode to prevent it
from closing down owned by a therapist named varindarkawa and her son cj they purchased the
hotel back in 2006 since they believed it was a fantastic investment opportunity they were told
that it was a hands-off business and that it would run itself but unfortunately this wasn't the case
since they barely made any money the owners decided to cut corners on almost everything
what's more due to verinda's venomous personality the staff turnover was extremely high in the
last eight months over 50 people have worked there with many of them lasting only one shift
most people who work there say that verinda acts more like a dictator than a boss it's quite odd
that someone who once worked as a family therapist can't get along with her staff running a downright
filthy hotel verinda repeatedly talked down to her staff and was extremely controlling which made
for a toxic atmosphere she's so crazy that she even called the cops on one of her staff members
for asking about a paycheck that was late putting aside all of the hotel's issues ramsay still
renovated both the lobby and the rooms giving them a second chance the menu was also revamped since
the food day was god-awful after the episode aired she suggested that the show just played
up her attitude for the cameras but we think that's just an excuse six beachfront inn and
inlet chef gordon ramsay visits beachfront inn and inlet to prevent it from closing down opened
by brian paul back in 2012 the inn is located in a prime location on the florida coast to bring
his dream of running an inn to life he used the income from his family's successful fish market
sadly things haven't been so smooth for paul many of his staff members complain about him like lisa
the hotel manager who believes that he doesn't have any hotel experience server gina says paul
is only physically there since he wanders around the building aimlessly sous chef joey says that
his boss is too easy going and should be focused on running the hotel rather than doing nothing
all day instead of acting like a responsible owner paul is far more interested in sitting at the bar
and downing drinks with his guests to make matters even worse he's okay with his staff doing the same
who cares if there's actual work to be done right naturally this led to a ton of
fundamental issues that were so difficult to fix that Ramsay decided to just give up after leaving
paul missed the deadline to pay off his debts and finally recognized the advice Ramsay had given him
four months after taping the episode paul sacked most of his kitchen stuff and employed a new team
he made further improvements to the inn including installing new kitchenettes revamping the menu
adding new patio furniture and landscaping the garden well that'll be all for today's video
